Best Life Is Hard Poems


Death Is Easy, Life Is Hard
The chill night air sings through my veins.
The Moon's great face hides from me,
As dark as a thousand midnights.
Death is easy, Life is hard.

During the blackest hours of the night,
The true darkness in my soul shines through.
The cruel memories held at bay during daylight,
Burst through...

Life Is Hard...
Life is hard
money is tight
I close my eyes and hide
defeated
illness, sadness, death all around
depression, separation, ugliness, truth
parents getting older, 
uncertainty most certain
dont grab those if onlys, we will weaken
and we haven't much left

such a dream we had to retire
in comfort
now its gone
what will we do........

Premium Member Life Is Hard Enough
Raised bucolic and pedantic
Nothing taken for granted
Dreams are for dreamers
Life is hard
Lessons learned came heavy handed

Fathered by the Golden Rule
Taught to be nobody's fool
Schemes are for schemers
Life is hard
Wits are the logical tool

Breaking from family tradition
Always raising suspicion
Teach the teacher
Life is hard
High price for independent...

For you i come cheap
You only lose a kiss

Life Is Hard
Life is hard


Drown away the sorrow, 
Looking forward to a brighter day.
Life may be quite hard now, 
But you'll rise above the hurt and pain.
Never let life bring you down, 
Don't get too high you'll fade away
And that's a shame for you and me
And that's...

Life Is Hard
Love Life
Love people
People are mean
People are nice
Nice hair
Nice shirt
Shirt is red
Shirt is blue
Blue sky
Blue eyes 
Eyes glassey
Eyes brown
Brown shirt 
Brown box
Box of chocolates
Box of colors
Colors are colorful 
Colors are bright
Bright computer
Bright mind
Mind is smart
Mind is dumb
Dumb people
Dumb computer
Computers are stupid
Computers are smart
Smart brains
Smart butt
Butt is...

Premium Member LIFE IS HARD
I don’t remember the shower
unless the glass shatters
into smithereens
I slip on the soap
of sudsy shards
Life is hard
the walls press in
white and smooth
as if a crowd’s haranguing me
Life is hard
with choices of a cloth
or bar to rub over the rough spots
I cry
when the water’s too hot
Life...

Life is hard! The college coed said.
The finals were horrible, agreed her pal, Ned.
They signed up to go to a third world country for “fun”.
Chosen as number thirty, and thirty-one.

The plane ride was horrible! The college coed said.
No food at all, and the movie was...

Life Is Hard
when life out there gets too hard
and the pain gets too sharp
and the hurt never ends
I'll be wanting to come back
home to you

would you open the door
would you let me in
I act so strong
but I'm weak from sin

no questions, no lies
hold me while I close...

Life Is Hard (The Hanging"
He always tried all he could
When his son asked him to go to the game
He spent everyday couching him to be a star
But he thought he wasn't doing quite good
To make his son's dream come true
And when he tried to quit drinking
Cause he wanted better...

Life Is Hard
Am not saying I want to die
But I don’t want to live as well
Why its so harsh
Why it too hard
Am not saying am tired
But it hurts every time I breathe....

Life Is Hard At Times
Reality is slowly kicking in,
My head is in such a massive spin,
I’m staying positive and hoping for something new to begin,
I just need to learn to take everything on the chin,

My head is still coming to terms with everything,
Nobody knows what’s around the corner and...

Life Is Hard
Life is hard
but not so far, 
dreams comes true,
need to speed up ur car. 
Ups nd downs
Jerks nd jolts
Let's tighten up ur belt, 
don't you knelt
moves round round
on the life's ground. 

Once you win
raise up their chin
praises of kin
those people made din. 

Life is a...

Life Is Hard But So Very Beautiful
Nothing comes on a silver platter,
No part of life is a bed of roses,
No path in life is straight,
Down we go up we go,
Maneuvering the meanders.

However I have the better word,
You can make your bed of roses,
Cleverly and sagaciously you can do it,
With prayers your...

Life Is Hard For Us All
Life is hard for us all
Challenges we will face each day 
It is a big dance
Obstacles are there in every way
We rise to take the matter on hand
There is a lot to do
Nothing is ever easy
We as people, must guide our way through...
